This pasta dish is adapted from a recipe mentioned in Colleen Patrick-Goudreau's book The 30-Day Vegan Challenge but I didn't measure and I added whatever I felt like...
What you need:
1/2 box of multi-grain or whole wheat rotini pasta, cooled
a small can of chick peas
about 1 cup of corn, cooked, cooled
handful or so of grape tomatoes
fresh basil
fresh garlic
salt and pepper
red wine vinegar
olive oil
dry basil
What to do:
Cook pasta, drain and then cool. Combine ingredients and then chill.
Verdict:
OH SO YUMMY!
I'm not the most enthusiastic cook like my mother & other women in my family who are wonderful cooks. I began this blog because I was tired of eating crap food. I craved something tastier & healthier so I started trying out various recipes. I'm changing things up to incorporate more fresher meals into my diet. While I will still use poultry, I am going to explore the world of vegetarian, vegan, &/or gluten free recipes while minimizing my intake of animal products.

Lisa Tries Carrot-Ginger Soup
Recipe: Carrot-Ginger Soup
By: Colleen Patrick-Goudreau's The 30-Day Vegan Challenge
What you need:
2 tbsp water to saute with (I used that plus a bit of oil)
1 large yellow onion, coursely chopped
2 tsp garlic, chopped fine
6-7 carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds (I used a baby of baby carrots)
2 med potatoes, peeled, quartered
2.5 tsp chopped fresh ginger (I used more)
4-5cups veggie stock
salt and pepper
What to do:
In large pot, saute onions and garlic in water in water (I used that plus a bit of oil when water evaporated). Add all ingredients and cook until potatoes and carrots are tender. Transfer to food processor and puree the soup until creamy. (I waited for the soup to cool down and then added to food processor.) Add salt as needed. I topped with a bit of cinnamon when I could not find nutmeg.
Verdict:
This soup reminds me of the fall. Both my mom and aunt tried it and all went "mmm!" I thought it was light yet comforting and yummy too.
